The third edition of the Tokyo Biennale is themed “ Shall we ‘Sanpo’?” and explores various ways of “Sanpo” – a concept that embraces walking, wandering around, and discovering new perspectives through movement. The “SOCIAL DIVE” open call is now calling for projects from around the world to explore with us this theme of ‘Sanpo’. Artists are invited to propose a walking project that will bring new experiences to the streets of Tokyo.
